Impact Koziol, who transferred to Wisconsin in the offseason before re-entering the transfer portal, has landed at Houston.

Officially leaving Madison Koziol will enter the transfer portal, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact Koziol was one of the highest-rated tight ends available in the transfer portal after reeling in 94 catches for 839 yards and eight scores in his junior year with Ball State. He signed with Wisconsin as one of the Badgers' crown jewels of their winter portal haul, but he's elected to enter the portal once again. He'll be highly coveted once again.

Headed to Wisconsin Koziol has committed to transfer to Wisconsin, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact One of the top tight ends in the transfer portal, Koziol amassed a whopping 94 catches for 839 yards and eight touchdowns on 128 targets last season. He'll join a new offense in Madison that is expected to emphasize the tight end more under the direction of new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes.

Will enter portal Koziol will enter the transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact Koziol has only one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, so it makes sense for him to enter the transfer portal. The decision also considers who he is and what he has accomplished with Ball State, especially recently. As an underclassman there, Koziol logged at least triple-digit yards and multiple touchdowns. The junior easily had a career year in 2024, so he enters this year's winter portal window as one of college football's hottest available commodities at tight end.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags score in blowout Koziol hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 42-21 defeat versus Ohio.

Impact Koziol came back with a solid outing against the Bobcats after a tough 27-yard performance in the previous week. The dominant junior tight end grabbed a touchdown in the third quarter, though it didn't have much pull on the outcome. He ended the year with 94 grabs for 839 yards and eight touchdowns, being one of the best tight ends in the conference.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet 27 yards vs. Falcons Koziol notched five receptions (on 11 targets) for 27 yards during Saturday's 38-13 loss against Bowling Green.

Impact Koziol struggled alongside the Cardinals as the team ended up losing in a blowout. The junior tight end's performance was arguably his worst of the season, but he'll look to return to his usual form as Ball State finishes out the year versus Ohio on Friday.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drops Kozi-bomb versus Bulls Koziol tallied 11 receptions (on 12 targets) for 95 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 51-48 overtime defeat against Buffalo.

Impact Koziol put together another huge performance for the Cardinals in the tough loss, tallying a team-leading 11 receptions, with 95 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter as well. The junior pass catcher remains one of the best tight ends in the MAC Conference at this point in the season, with 79 grabs for 724 yards and seven touchdowns after the loss.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

49 yards vs. RedHawks Koziol recorded four receptions (on 10 targets) for 49 yards during Tuesday's 27-21 loss versus Miami (OH).

Impact Koziol wasn't terrible against the RedHawks, but his performance didn't stack up great compared to his eight or more catch games that he tallied in the previous six weeks. The junior tight end still is a force in the Cardinals' offense, so he is more than likely to return to a high workload against Buffalo this upcoming week.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two touchdown catches in win Koziol tallied nine receptions (on 11 targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 25-23 win against Northern Illinois.

Impact Koziol pieced together his first two-touchdown performance as the Cardinals nearly edged out the Huskies. The junior tight end has eight or more catches in the last six games for Ball State, and his huge command of the team's passing game doesn't look to be dwindling any time soon.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nine catches in loss against Vandy Koziol caught 9 of 10 targets for 68 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-14 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Koziol was the only Cardinal to log a receiving touchdown, given his inelastic ability to still perform even when Ball State has a bad offensive day. The junior tight end has eight or more catches in the last five games, and his passing game role doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drops off production in win Koziol posted eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 43 yards during Saturday's 37-35 win over Kent State.

Impact Koziol has eight or more receptions in each of the past four games for Ball State, but he wasn't able to capitalize on them in the team's close loss. There should be no worries about the junior tight end's performance in the coming weeks, though; as he still commands a high percentage of targets in the Cardinals air raid and should continue to do so in the future.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Second 100-yard performance Koziol hauled in 9 of 16 targets for 102 yards during Saturday's 45-42 defeat to Western Michigan.

Impact Koziol registered a season-high 16 targets, which with no surprise turned into 100 yards. The tight end has had a big role in the passing game especially in the recent weeks, with nine receptions in the last three games for the Cardinals.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores sole touchdown in blowout Koziol gathered in all nine targets for 78 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-7 defeat to James Madison.

Impact Even though Ball State got decimated, Koziol was still able to piece together a solid performance. The junior tight end now has two weeks in a row with nine receptions, and he is looking to be a main facet of the team's offense no matter the outcome of the matchup.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Best performance of season Koziol caught 9 of 11 targets for 112 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-34 defeat against Central Michigan.

Impact Koziol was amazing against the Chippewas and showed that he deserves a high production role in the passing game. The junior tight end was a consistent option for quarterback Kadin Semonza and even capped off his performance with a receiving touchdown in the nail-biting finish of the fourth quarter.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not as big in blowout Koziol logged five receptions for 39 yards during Saturday's 62-0 defeat versus Miami (FL).

Impact Koziol still was able to rangle in five receptions, but he wasn't able to find a score like in Ball State's season opener. The junior tight end will look to have a better game in Week 4 against Central Michigan next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing for the big man Koziol hauled in 6 of 7 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-34 win against Missouri State.

Impact Koziol showcased an ability to keep up with the receiving corps of Ball State in the season opener, and was also able to cash in a score in the second half. He's now in his third year as a Cardinal and should continue to be a top option for quarterback Kadin Semonza in the coming weeks.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing for the big man Koziol hauled in 6 of 7 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-34 win against Missouri State.
